But Jonas was not at home when she

As she took the basket of japonicas out of

And then she sat down, all in her silvery

But lie did not come. The clock struck

As quick as lightning the young husband
tore the wreath in twain, threw it on the
floor, and set his heel on it.

frightened.

But his whole voice and manner had

But Geraldine could not forget the white
heat of anger that had blazed in his brief

not give way TO his unreasoning jealousy"
Mr.. Duncan Middleworth sat in a pro-
scenium box the next. evening, and tossed an
exquisite basket OF .iaponieas at Geraldine
Cleve's feet when the moment OF ovation
came.
She stopped herself to pick it up, with an
arch gratifed smile, and q slight motion Of
her head towards the box, and as she turned
away she met her husbands stern, %reproach-
full eye.
Her first impulse was to drop the basket
again, her second to brave II out.
What have / done ?r she asked herself
half Indignantly, and as she went of the stage
she carried the flower basket in her hand.
Jonas Cleve, however, did not make his
appearance as usual in her dressing room
when she was ready to depart, but, instead,
an old one-eyed carpenter, who served about
the theatre, stood waiting.

And now that she was married TO the young

on the stage, contrary to his most earnest en-
treaties and expostulations.
Just a year or two longer, Jonas dear, -
she said, " until we save money enough to
buy us a little cottage somewhere in the sub
urbs and furnish it as we want"
And Jonas Cleve yielded to her pretty
coaxing solicitations, although 1t was against
his own better judgment.
But it was not pleasing to go, night after
night, only to see other men staring at his
